Our Silly Six

Not exactly what I'd envisioned of a formal photo of all of our kids.

Keith......   He really does like his sister!

Our sweet baby girls.

Dancing to their own tunes.

Strawberry Pickin'

Today we made our annual trip to Lever Farms in Pomaria.  Every year we go and have the best time!  The girls pick and eat and leave with pink stains on their clothes and faces...and full tummies!   Granny and Boss always make the trip with us and we are so thankful they can.  God has truly blessed our family.  Three generations laughing and having fun doing something so simple.  I love these days!

She's 82 and can pick faster than the rest of us. :)

This little girl was so cute running up and down the rows.

Next year there will be another set of sticky little hands to wash and another sticky little face to kiss. :)

Miss Grinch

Last night Brice went down the hall to go to bed. He came back laughing and said, "Mom, you need to come and see how Brinley is sleeping."

LOL

She looks like Miss Grinch taking a long winter nap.

Get Your Goat....Soap!

We are working on another order for yummy goat soap! This order will go in on June 5! Thank you to everyone who has ordered again already!! Praise God! I told you you'd love it!  Help us spread the word! Remember that if you are a local friend you don't need to add shipping. We'll be happy to deliver it!

Hebrews 2:13 
And again, “I will put my trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

This soap is great for teacher's gifts or gifts to take to China. Each bar comes in a cotton draw string bag labeled with the scent. Love this soap and the family that makes this fundraiser possible!

These bars of goat milk soap are handmade.  Every bar contains an ounce of raw goat milk fresh from the farm. This gives each and every bar a creamy goodness your skin will love.  The goat milk soap bars are hand cut to weigh between 5 and 6 ounces and are cured for a minimum 6 weeks.  Every piece is unique in appearance, size, and color.   Your soap will come in a 4" x 6" cotton bag that is hand-stamped with the scent.  This cotton bag is friendlier to the environment than plastic and lets your soap breathe.  You will love these sweet smelling, long lasting, bubbly bars of soap.

Ingredients: Raw goat milk; Saponified natural fats, coconut oil, soy bean oil; Natural color, Fragrance.

Buy a bar and help us bring our sweet John Wesley home!   Each bar is $6. These are not tiny bars. They are a good size and last a long time!

Black Raspberry $6

The sweet raspberry scent is softened by a hint of vanilla. This is an across the board favorite, delighting little girls, ladies, and grown men alike.

Clean Cotton $6

Yes - this really does smell like freshly laundered cotton and people just love it!. It is a very fresh and clean scent.

Honeysuckle $6

Remember walking outside during the summer and catching the scent of a nearby honeysuckle vine?  This soap smells just like that. It is a truly beautiful honeysuckle scent with a hint of jasmine.

Lavender $6 The scent of lavender is a perennial favorite and one of our best sellers.  It is made with lavender essential oil.

Luv Spell $6 This is a lovely, feminine scent that smells of citrus and florals.  It is a very pretty, scent for all the  ladies.

Nautical $6 This is a masculine scent (that the women love).  It's perfect for all those men out there that want a soap just for them.

Oatmeal, Milk & Honey $6 It is hard to resist the wonderful fragrance of oatmeal, milk & honey.  It is a very clean and warm fragrance that pulls you in with that sweetness of honey.  ***This one is my FAVORITE! I've been using it every day for over a year! LOVE IT!!***

Ocean $6

This is a beautiful bar that is swirled with different shades of blue and white.  This is an amazingly clean scent that appeals to both men and women.

Pink Sugary $6

It is so hard to resist the scent of Pink Sugary. A wonderful sweetness, the hints of vanilla actually turn the bar a deep shade of brown instead of pink.

Purity (Unscented) $6

This soap has no added fragrance for those with dry, sensitive skin. It's just plain, good for your skin, goat milk soap! Lots of people use this soap on babies or people with eczema.

Praying...

Praying that we will have John Wesley home for Christmas this year.  We were in China in December, 2005 to bring Brinley home....it could happen again!

Lunch with a star! :)

You've heard of Dancing With the Stars!  Well, today we had Dining With the Stars!   Brinley was chosen to be the Star Student Of the Month for her class. As student of the month, she gets to sit at the "Student Of the Month" table and invite two guests to dine with her.  Her daddy and I were pleased to be her guests. We dined on chicken sandwiches, corn on the cob, green beans, potato salad and sliced peaches. The drink of choice was chocolate milk.

Brinley's photo will be featured on the cafeteria bulletin board during the month of April and she receives a "Goody Bag" from the school.  We are so proud of you, Bin Bin!

This handsome young man was spotted in the cafeteria while we were there. :)  He actually came over and sat with us for a few minutes. We must be okay, huh?

The Goat Milk Soap has arrived!

 Stacks and stacks of lovely scented soap!!  I wish everyone could smell the scents coming from each of those little bags!  Heavenly!!  We will be mailing them out or delivering them tomorrow!  Thank you so much to everyone who ordered!

Baby Face....

He's got the cutest little baby face!  John John's original referral photos from January 2010. 

Why Adopt? {Sunday Snapshot}

Why adopt?  This is why.

This is Brinley.  This is our daughter.

A little girl once abandoned by the gate of an orphanage in the middle of the night......on the other side of the planet.  This is our daughter.

This is the face of a special needs child. No longer an orphan.
This is our daughter Brinley. We could not love her more.
